Suppose that you're flying an airplane to deliver a package of food and supplies to people on the ground. They have prepared a target area where it is safe to land the package. You are flying parallel to the ground at height of 210 m and constant speed which is 99 m/s. How far will the package travel horizontally between the moment you release it from the plane and when it hits the ground? Assume you can ignore air resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 in the downward direction.

You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
Here is my problem: From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 15.4 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 18.0 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 26.7 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance. I think I have the correct steps.. but can't seem to get the right answer. I would like someone to walk me through how to solve this.
A volcano erupted and spit a rock in the atmosphere at an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 25m/s. The rock hit the ground 20 meters below the crater. What is the direction of the rock in degrees before hitting the ground? O 50 60 O 40 O o o O
In the figure, you throw a ball toward a wall at speed 37.0 m/s and at angle 8 = 43.0° above the horizontal. The wall is distance d - 18.0 m from the release point of the ball. (a) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall? What are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of its velocity as it hits the wall? Use g = 9.80 m/s².

A friend of yours has a one story house with a pool in the backyard. Someone gets the bright idea to jump from the roof of the house into the deep end of the pool. a) If the roof of the house is 16 ft tall and the horizontal distance between the edge of the house and the pool is 10 ft, what would the jumper's minimum velocity need to be to land in the pool? b) Let's assume your friend can jump with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. What is their total velocity when they hit the water? (hint: determine both the x and y velocity components, find the resultant)
A ball is thrown at 60° with initial velocity of 10 m/s, it reaches the maximum height and on return it hit an inclined surface 2 m above the initial level and inclined at 40° and bounces back at 90° with the inclined surface, with half of the speed of impact. What is the horizontal distance of the ball from A to B? A B 60⁰ 40⁰ 2m

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 20.5 m/s at an angle of 40.5° above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 18.5 m above the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance: m

An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of ℎ=275 mh=275 m as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height ℎh from the release point, calculate the speed ?v of the plane. Neglect any effects due to air resistance, and use ?=9.81 m/s2g=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
